Pet Sitting Rialto

About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕

About: Hi there! I'm excited to tell you about my experience caring for pets, especially dogs. With two wonderful pups of my own, aged 2 and 5, I've learned firsthand the joy and responsibility that comes with being a pet parent. From daily walks to cozy snuggles, I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to furry companions. What sets me apart as a sitter is my dedication to meeting the unique needs of each dog in my care. I love helping young pups learn basic commands and develop good manners in a positive and encouraging environment. As someone who has raised puppies, I know the importance of early training. Additionally, with my older dog by my side, I've gained valuable experience in caring for senior pets. Whether it's gentle exercise, administering medication, or providing extra comfort, I'm committed to ensuring that older dogs receive the attention and care they deserve. As a pet lover and responsible caregiver, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend I encounter. When your pets are with me, they'll be treated like part of the family, receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. Currently not employed, my schedule offers ample time for devoted pet care. Each day is dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of the furry companions I welcome into my home. Mornings kick off with energizing walks, providing exercise and a chance for fresh air. Throughout the day, play sessions and interactive activities keep tails wagging. I prioritize regular feeding schedules, tailored to the dietary needs of each pet. Whether it's a visit to the local dog park or a cozy evening cuddle, I cherish every moment spent with my canine friends. This period of flexibility allows me to provide the attention, care, and companionship that dogs thrive on, creating a harmonious and joyful environment. In both my home and my clients' spaces, the cornerstone of my pet care approach is safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. Living in an apartment, I ensure that the dogs under my care have the freedom to move about freely, fostering a sense of comfort and relaxation. Regular walks to nearby parks provide not only essential exercise but also a change of scenery and the opportunity for social interactions with other canine friends. Creating a safe haven is paramount; I meticulously puppy-proof and dog-proof my living space to eliminate potential hazards. Beyond physical safety, I prioritize building a trusting relationship with each pet through positive interactions, ensuring they feel at home and secure in their temporary abode.

About: My first dog was a saint bernard. Since then I've had dogs of various sizes. Good experience with big dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own, a pitt and a terrier, both which have been raised since puppy. I can administer medicine and bathe them! I am a college student who does online, so I am home most days of the week and weekends. I have no other jobs at the moment so I will be able to come pet sit for any time of day! I have 2 other friendly dogs and 4 cats who do well with dogs. Litter boxes are cleaned everyday, food and water is checked on everyday. I am good with getting stubborn pets into their crates safely and how to get an animal to pay attention when it's needed.

About: I love pets and have my own that I adore having around. I treat every dog like a member of my family. I'm home throughout the day and genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side to care for—it gives my days a sense of purpose. I believe dogs are a lot like children: they need time, attention, and affection. I've cared for my own dog as well as those of friends and family, and I'd love to give yours the same devoted attention. Im currently working part time and go to school on select days. I’m also available weekends. Communicate with my and we can make special arrangements when necessary. My dogs are indoor dogs and honestly pretty spoiled—the heater or AC is on whenever it's needed to keep them comfortable. I don't mind them being up on the couch or sitting right next to me. Our yard is fully fenced all the way around, and I make sure they get frequent potty breaks throughout the day. If I'm doing a house visit at your home, I do the same: I follow your pup's routine and make sure they're safe, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time.

About: I've been a dog owner for years and currently have a Yorkie of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Friends and family regularly rely on me as their go-to dog sitter, whether that's caring for their dogs in my home or stopping by for drop-in visits. I'm a huge dog lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with walking paths and a nearby dog park, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment (if that's part of their normal routine). I know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having someone keep them company, I'll care for them like they're my own. I work Monday through Friday, but I am available after 5 PM for walks, drop-ins, and evening visits. I’d be happy to include your dog in my nightly walking routine with my own Yorkie, or I can give your pup one-on-one attention if they prefer their own walk. For overnight requests and/or check in and walks, I am available on weekends and can build pet care into my routine. I’m an early bird, so I’m also happy to accommodate early morning check-ins and make sure your pet starts their day with care, attention, and a good walk. My home is set up with pets in mind, with a small turf area available for quick potty breaks and a dog park within walking distance for walks, exercise, and enrichment. I want pets to feel comfortable and safe while they’re in my care, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. For in-home visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders (if needed), and plenty of attention. I also love setting aside dedicated playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time based on your dog’s personality and what makes them feel most comfortable. My goal is to make your pet feel cared for and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.

About: Hello! My name is Kristen and I am 42 years old. I have 17 years experience with my own cat who is still thriving in his golden years. In my mid 20s, I wanted to be a veterinarian and I nearly completed Mt. SAC’s Vet Tech program but life took me elsewhere. Over the last 6 years, I have been the go-to sitter for my friends and families dog packs. I love walking, lounging and playing so whatever your baby needs I can do! I’m currently pretty open as I’m taking time from working. I have a gig most evenings but free all day and have a lot of flexibility so please feel free to ask! I would not be able to house your baby, but would be comfortable coming to yours. Unfortunately, until my cat passes on (😭), I can not offer overnight care.

“We had a wonderful experience with her as our cat sitter. She is always on time, very easy to reach, and quick to respond whenever we have any questions. Our cat loves her, and we fully trust her to take great care of our fur baby. She is reliable, kind, warm, and truly caring. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have my own small dog who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and I love taking him on walks and to dog parks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I also occasionally volunteer at local dog shelters, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own space. 🐾❤️

“Jessica was able to accommodate our dog sitting needs despite my last minute request. She kept me updated throughout and she took very good care of my dog.”
